How to save Audio/Midi Setup on Max???

Hello guys.
First of all, thank god for this forum!
Finally!! Thank you cycling’74.

I’m trying to save my Auido/Midi Setup on Max.
I’m using my laptop for all the gigs and home-studio works.
If I run maxmsp without my Audio/Midi interface,
all the port numbers and status gets messed up.
I have to switch on/off by selecting the right port number/alphabets for my gig-patch.

I didn’t have any trouble since I hardly go outside except for gigs.
But since I have a laptop,
I would like to go outside and play with my sweet-gig-patch. Trying to evolving it with ideas.
I do not want to carry all my Audio/Midi interfaces and gears.
I just want to play with the patch.
Is there any way to do this without setting the Audio/Midi setup everytime I run max without the interfaces ???
Can’t it remember the setup whenever I plug back my interfaces???

Ableton Live and Apple Logic Pro is good at this.
They always remember my setup whenever I plug them back in.

All I could come up with was using the "midiinfo",
but I don’t think that’s it.

But what I am trying to do is that
I would like to send some information to the "Midi setup" to control them. To cancel out that ever that I don’t use in the Max and assign them correct port alphabets.

If run Max without the midi interfaces connected,
some how the midi-setup has been reseted and that I have to set it up from the scratch.

Thx with the audio bit.
If I plug the Audio interfaces, max will recognize it with the correct setup.
But this didn’t apply with the midi.

Just forget about the port alphabets, I didn’t use them anymore since 10
Years and never missed them. Logical names are what you want to deal with…

Have a look at my St.MidiInport and St.MidiOutport, this might get you
going, find it at c74/share…
